In addition to the detailed recipes discussed last week, Mrs. Berolzheimer provided a list of "Miscellaneous Sandwiches and Sandwich Fillings" for the benefit of homemakers pondering the Lunch Question. Her suggestions:

19. Boston brown bread with minced corned beef seasoned with mustard and rubbed to a paste.

20. Cream cheese used with chopped parsley, pimento and mayonnaise, chopped nuts, sliced sugared bananas, crushed pineapple, chopped or sliced olives, shredded sliced apples. The cheese may be rubbed with butter or the creamed butter may be spread on the bread.

Thanks for these! The other half won't eat cream cheese, cottage cheese (except when hidden in lasagna) or yogurt, or olives or plain nuts - and the list goes on. I love mashed banana or cream cheese and pineapple on black bread, so I'm going to try out these mixes and leave the luncheon meat for he who buys it.

Just btw, do you happen to have a recipe for soda pickles in your stash? Health Canada says not to make them anymore because there's no vinegar brine for food safety, but they didn't poison earlier generations so I don't get it. I'm not supposed to eat vinegar in anything, so no soda pickles means no pickles at all for me.
